TOANO, Va., April 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- To mark World
Autism Day, Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL), the largest specialty
retailer of hardwood flooring in North
America, announced its recent donation of new flooring to
two organizations that provide services to people with autism and
other disabilities.
Lumber Liquidators donated 1,100 square feet of CoreLuxe
Beachcomber Oak engineered vinyl plank to Shining Hope Farms of
Conover, North Carolina, to help
renovate the caregiver house.
Shining Hope Farms was founded in 2002, in response to the needs
in the community to provide therapeutic services in an enriching
farm environment. The purpose of the farms' services is to improve
the quality of life of the participants as well as their families.
Shining Hope Farms' programs have been structured to serve
individuals and groups with a variety of disabilities, such as
cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, developmental disabilities,
brain injuries, hypotonia, and more.
"On behalf of our staff, volunteers, and all the people we
serve, we would like to thank Lumber Liquidators for generously
providing this new flooring for our space," said Milinda
Kirkpatrick, Executive Director of Shining Hope Farms.
Lumber Liquidators also donated 1,000 square feet of Dream Home
Rolling Falls Oak laminate to the On Your Mark organization of
Staten Island, New York. The
flooring was used to replace the building's existing flooring for
the benefit of those with disabilities. Since 1979, On Your Mark,
Inc., has responded to the needs of individuals with developmental
disabilities and their families in Staten
Island and Brooklyn. They
provide services to children and adults with disabilities,
including intellectual disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy,
traumatic brain injury, and neurological impairments.
"This new flooring is a much-needed improvement to our location
and for the people we serve," added Teresa Cirelli, On Your Mark's Director of
Community Relations and Fundraising.
The flooring provided to both organizations is GREENGUARD Gold
certified for indoor air quality.
Lumber Liquidators' support of these organizations was
administered through its philanthropic program, Lay It Forward,
which supports organizations that benefit generations to come. This
principle also inspires the lasting quality and sustainability of
Lumber Liquidators' products.
